If Vohoffsky wasn't wedded to Richardson, she'd seem to be more aligned to his politics. She could also try to make a pitch to Senator Merriam, who is presently leaning Richardson but will want to hear out Bragg too.

Vohoffsky, if Richardson has a political (or real, for that matter) stroke.

As they both serve in the House, I doubt it'd be difficult for them to rub shoulders.

I think her and Merriam will work out better than expected. Let's set something up. They're both unconventional Republicans who have both in the past been Representatives from NH-1, it can be assumed they at least be very aware of each other if not already acquainted.

When Porter makes a speech and people don't immediately go apeshit over it, that's a good sign.

How do you put a repeal in the docket? Vohoffsky's looking to repeal Dodd-Frank, so I'm wondering how he can do that.

You'd write a bill excising the relevant language, I imagine, or simply stating a repeal of the antecedent legislation with the appropriate citations.

Wasn't Dodd Frank repealed the replaced in 2018?

There was a bill which passed and was signed which exempted some smaller banks from the act's provisions, but I think that was about it.

He's the 'frontrunner' if you exclude Wolf Jr. Frontrunner status is inherently more slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Attacking Wolf Jr. is difficult because he's the President's son. I imagine if Prendy pulled out ahead, he'd get some bloodying.

Richardson also was quite literally the most fiscally conservative governor in the country, and fought for the repeal of Dodd Frank while in congress

Ehh Prendy and Richardson are in a statistical tie. So that is not a good reason.

Is it allowable for a presidential candidate to write an op-ed for a newspaper they formerly wrote on-staff for? Or be interviewed by a magazine/website they used to write for?

That’s a recent development. The question is though does Prendergast keep it up? They aren’t in the same “lane” Richardson voters wouldn’t go to Prendergast, Wolf Jr is a far bigger threat

It’s not even if Prendergast keeps it up, it’s if Bragg keeps the support he stole from Richardson

Richardson's main problem is Bragg who is also an enemy.

I would classify Richardson as "Frustrated but not yet worried" about Bragg
